All hail to my main man Gary Gygax.
I can't believe that I still have the dice after all these years.
No matter how paranoid you are, you're not paranoid enough.

    Sad news. I used to enjoy campaigning back in 1983

    I was only an AD&D fan, but a fan nonetheless. ;_;

    Maybe he'll get real dragons at his funeral?

    I only got into DND 3rd edition. Too bad I'm too nerdy to even have enough friends to play a nerdy game. >_<

    RIP

    Boy, I'm amazed that Gary Gygax has lasted this long. He never looked in very good health, even when I saw him at fantasy cons back in the 1980's. I started playing D&D back in 1977, but didn't really get obsessed with it until 1981, after which I lost most of my undergrad years to it. The longest campaign I was in lasted over four years. What a great escape for the imagination D&D is.

    RIP GG -- Tiamat Awaits

    Damn, I wish that I had thought of that epitaph...

    Sad sad day.

    I am thinking I'll bust out Zanzar's Dungeon and that one episode of Futurama he was on (and maybe a six pack) Friday.
